Enough is enough
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I have been in a relationship with a young man for more than two years and things were initially going on well with us.
With time, our relationship started going bad and we seemed to disagree with each other on every little issue which should have ended normally without an objection from either of us.
Having observed things critically over the period, l have decided to break up the relationship with him to enable me to concentrate on my studies. I consider this decision very important this time.
Though it will be difficult to disclose my intention to him, l think enough is enough and lam eager to stick to my plans despite the consequences.
Now that l have decided to break up the relationship with him, new guys are also proposing to me.
Obaa Yaa, please l need your advice.
Delight, Takoradi.
Dear Delight,
I am delighted to read that you have attached great importance to your studies and that has informed your decision to sever links with this gentleman. The objective of enrolling in the university is to achieve an aim, so pursue this goal to the end.
Compatibility is the catchphrase in every relationship, and since this is missing, it is appropriate to do what is essential by severing relations with this guy. Can you imagine how your parents will feel when they get wind of your relationship with this guy?
There is one thing making a decision and another ensuring that the decision is carried out.
Disregard the numerous calls from other young men and remain resolute in your decision to stop the relationship which has given you the signal that it has no future.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35year –old-lady married to a banker. I am a housewife. I am fair in complexion. I got my left hand tattooed sometime last year. I have never had my peace with my husband because he strongly abhors.
In my attempt to get it erased, I have caused a big scar on my hand which has worsened the situation. Sometime ago, your esteemed paper carried a story about how permanent tattoo can be cleared and a location.
May I know whether it is possible to get the scar and tattoo erased, and how much it would cost.
Worried housewife, Prampram.
Dear housewife,
Since I have no idea how wide and deep the scar and tattoo are, it would be difficult for me to have a meaningful discussion with the specialists at the unit.
I suggest that the next time you visit Accra, you pay a visit to any skincare unit and ask what help they can offer.
But until then, do not apply any self-medication. You may also ask your doctor to advise you as if there is any way out for a surgery. All the best.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
Ever since we got married, two years ago, my husband seldom wears his wedding ring except on occasion such as church service, funerals, outdooring and other social gatherings.
For the rest of the week, he goes to work without it. The excuse he gives is that whether he wears the ring to work or not, he is by law married to me.
But I beg to differ. I suspect there is more to it than what he told me. I need your advice on this.
Eno, Ashiaman.
Dear Eno,
Some men don’t like wearing rings; others enjoy it. It is just like how some women like wearing jewellery or large earing while others would rather do away with them.
The fact, however, is that a man can misbehave even when he wears it or not because there are ladies who wouldn’t mind with the ring on.
When he gets back home, he would wear it again. What difference does it make if he doesn’t wear it all?
